Staff Planning & Preparation Days and Professional Development Days 2018

Professional Development Days are pupil free days: teachers at Armidale Waldorf School are continually developing their teaching skills and perspectives. Teaching staff engage in a number of professional development and planning days each year as a team. These occur during holiday time prior to the beginning of each term. Through these days we aim to foster a sense of a learning community supporting individual development and group cohesion. In addition to this, staff participate in Steiner and other related courses as required, according to individual and school needs.

Planning & Preparation (PPD) days – PPD days may include activities such as Dates & Term Preparation; Policy Review and Discussion; Council Visit; Classroom Preparation.
